Creating Lessons with the Educator Agent

Use the Educator Agent to create and assign lessons through chat

Written by Kat Morgan

Lessons created by the Educator Agent open in the New editor. The Educator Agent uses the document-style New editor when it generates a lesson, so you get a page-based lesson with inline questions and media. You can edit the result like any other New editor lesson.


The Educator Agent can help you create lessons through a conversational workflow. You can create standalone lessons or add them to an existing pathway, all through chat.

Creating a lesson via chat

1. Open the Agent from the sidebar.

2. Describe the lesson you want to create. For example: "Create a practice lesson about electromagnetic waves for Year 10 physics."

3. The agent drafts a short overview first: the title, lesson type, year level, the topics it will cover and the mix of questions. You can read this overview and ask for changes before anything is built.

4. Choose whether to add it to a pathway or keep it standalone.

5. The agent then builds the full lesson in the background. You can carry on working while it builds, and the lesson appears in your Lessons library as an unpublished draft. Nothing is shared with students until you publish it yourself.

Standalone or pathway lesson

During creation, the agent will ask whether you want to add the lesson to an existing pathway. If you choose Keep it standalone, the lesson is created in your Lessons library without being added to any pathway. You can always add it to a pathway later.

Assigning via the agent

After creating a lesson, you can ask the agent to assign it to a classroom. Say something like: "Assign this lesson to Physics 101 with a due date of next Friday." The agent handles the assignment and confirms the details.

Tips for better results

  • Be specific about the topic and year level

  • Mention the lesson type you want (practice, assessment, revision, tutorial)

  • Include any custom instructions for tone, language, or specific questions to include

  • Upload a document (PDF, Word, PowerPoint or an image) and ask the agent to build a lesson from it
